Golden State wants to avoid play-in tournament, but the No. 5 seed would mean a first-round series with the Phoenix Suns and Kevin Durant.
Credit to the Warriors. While this season has proven to be quite the challenge, they have made it easy for themselves and us ahead of the final two games of the regular season.
Following the Clippers’ win over the Lakers and a Pelicans win Wednesday, the Warriors have a 50-50 shot at making the real playoffs , per PlayoffStatus.com.And if the Warriors win only one of the final two games, their odds of avoiding the play-in tournament improve to around 60 percent. In that case, Golden State will also rely on its peers to lose games.
The Dubs might not be great this season, but these last few games — intense contests — have taken a toll. Klay Thompson’s back flared before Tuesday’s game with the Thunder, and Draymond Green feels every bit of the wear and tear from playing 40 minutes of smallball. Even the ageless Steph Curry would admit that he could use a rest. A week off before the playoffs would also be a godsend for the Dubs as they try to bring Andrew Wiggins back into the fold.
That possibility would require the Pelicans to lose one of their final two games. New Orleans hosts the Knicks Friday and is at Minnesota on Sunday.
